MEMORANDUM TO: PROJECT FILE - THE STATION AT EAST 54 (DEMOLITION OF EXISTING TOWN OF CHAPEL HIIb FIRE STATION#2) �/-�� FROM: JEFF SCOUTEN, ORANGE COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGEmnnc-�I� SUBJECT: DECONSTRUCTION ASSESSMENT-FIRE STATION#20003 HAMILTON RD.,CHAPEL HILL) DATE: DECEMBER 39,2016 A deconstruction assessment was conducted today at 2:00 p.m. by me on site at the subject Town of Chapel Hill Fire Station #2 which is to be demolished (and a new station built) as part of the STATION AT EAST 54 project by East West Partners. Also in attendance were Assistant Fire Chief Matt Lawrence and Bill Wiggins who is the Project Manager (PM) with the general contractor, Barnhill Construction. It was noted at the assessment that the structure consists of cinder block (CMU) exterior and interior walls built on a concrete slab foundation so there aren't any wooden or metal stud walls to be deconstructed for salvage. The PM also stated that there are asbestos containing materials (ACM's) in the floor covering under the carpet and possibly in plaster attached to interior walls and metal door frames which would preclude them from reuse. I pointed out to Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Wiggins the fairly sizable amount of metal which must be recycled and which consisted of HVAC ductwork & air handling units, buck bay doors and tracks, steel roof support beams, aluminum cladding/fascia board around the outside perimeter of the building, aluminum gutters & downspouts, and electrical conduit piping attached to the inside and outside of the building. Salvageable items consisting of kitchen appliances (stoves, refrigerators), employee beds and metal lockers are to be removed by the CH Fire Department and re-used in the new fire station. There are some kitchen cabinets that could be salvaged for reuse and Mr. Lawrence has reached out to the Orange County Habitat for Humanity deconstruction coordinator to see if they have any interest in removing those. The GC (Barnhill) has contracted with an OCS W Licensed Hauler (Lloyd Grading and Utilities) to do the building demolition and who will source separate the aforementioned scrap metal which will then be taken to market for recycling. Mr. Wiggins informed me that the demolition of the building will not start until after the asbestos has been removed and that he would let me know when that is so I can go by to observe the source separation of the metal. Mr. Wiggins informed me that he completed the Recyclable Materials Permit (RM Permit) for the demolition permit this morning at the same time as the demolition permit. I asked Mr. Lawrence to remind the Town's Building Inspection/Permits staff to send the RM permit (for the demolition permit)to me to review and approve in accordance with the RRMO Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Town and Orange County (dated 0624/2008). As mentioned above, OCSW enforcement staff will inspect the site over the course of the demolition to ensure that the regulated materials (scrap metal) are recycled pursuant to the RRMO. A completed DECONSTRUCTION ASSESSMENT FORM will be attached tb this document as pmt of the record.
